: The thing about this discussion that surprises me is how many people think
: that _creating_ spin-off groups like .announce or .newbie is a good idea,
: then are surprised that these groups _already exist_ but they don't get
: them. So what's the point? If the traffic in .newplayers has really been
: that low, further splits seem similarly pointless. I'd rather skim through
: all the threads in one place than slog through the same useless crap 5 or 6
: times. (You know the PENIS SIZE thread would have been in all the groups,
: right?)
If there were as many branch groups as the ones that are being
proposed, anybody who knew anything about the groups would have
crossposted their abusive messages to all of them, probably. Then we
would have not 1 but about 5 or 6 of the same thread to kill, bleah!
